Tiger Rugs

When big game hunting was an acceptable sport, there were few trophies as stunning as a tiger rug. However, as the species is now endangered, a tiger skin rug is no longer something that you would want lying around your home. However, you can find replicas and tiger stripe rugs easily to decorate your home with a similar appeal.

Finding a tiger print rug is as easy as turning on your computer or stopping by your local home furnishings store. Depending on the style you are going for, tiger rugs come in limitless varieties.

For instance, if you have your heart set on a white tiger skin rug, you can get a replica. These fake tiger rugs are usually cow skin that has been stenciled to look like it came from the big cat. Not quite the real thing, but a lot more environmentally friendly.

If you are looking for something for a kid’s room or just something a little more fun, you can look for a plush tiger rug. Coming as big as 6 feet long, these rugs offer plush tiger heads and soft furry bodies for curling up on. These are the perfect addition for any jungle themed room.

If you are looking for a tiger area rug that has more of an adult theme about it, consider a sisal rug with tiger border. A tiger print border on a sisal rug allows just enough tiger print in it to be fun, and yet is neutral enough to work in a more adult setting.

If you are looking for animals in general, you can also find elephant and tiger rugs featuring images of the magnificent animals, as well as a variety of other animal themed rugs. These often work just as well as wall hangings as they do floor coverings.

Another version of tiger rugs has nothing to do with the animal’s pelt at all. Ancient Tibetans used to use tigers as decorations to invoke the cat’s spirit. While an original tiger rug is very hard to find, you can find many quality replications online. You can often find these handmade out of 100% wool; so that you know you will have a rug that will last a lifetime. Some vendors of replica tiger rugs will even offer a portion of their sales towards tiger conservation groups.

Choosing the perfect tiger rug for you will require a little research. Take some time to decide what you like, and the pricings available. That way you will have a tiger rug that you will be able to enjoy for a long time.
